Hawk Wargames Campaign Packs: Coming Soon


Something new and as of yet not talked about on this site is coming from Hawk Wargames; a Campaign Pack. While I have had very little information about this, its coming very soon and looks to be an amazing set of scenarios and landscapes to take your Dropzone Commander Battles to. Not only will the games be fun, but Hawk Wargames is supporting stores that want to support the Campaign, and putting out these packs as close to "at cost" as they can.


I don't have a name yet for the release, beyond that it is a campaign set on the first planets of the UCM's reconquest to take back the planets held by the Scourge. These games are for organized play, set up for 8 person campaigns for any of the 4 factions.

Support is a poster to keep track of the battles and participants, along with metal pendants for each faction for the players. Going with metal pendants that are really nice, is more substantial than going with patches or certificates of some sort.

There is a lot of new artwork coming with these campaigns, with a new piece of artwork to match up with each of the scenarios. The areas of battle include, a flooded swamp ruined city, a run down Ice Base, a High Tech city still being used by the Scourge,  partially destroyed mining facility/city, and one with lava that flows like rivers through the battlefield.

Obviously there is a lot of detail still unknown at this time, but with artwork for each battle, a new organized campaign setting for the first worlds of the Reconquest sound like a ton of fun. Sources put this release in late July along with the Landing Pad Scenery set next month. Of course we also know that the first expansion book for Dropzone Commander is coming in late August about the time of Gen Con.
